In Canada you can shoot your Antique Firearm anywhere you can legally discharge a Non restricted Firearm.
But no Hunting with Handguns only Target shooting!

In England they can have the same Antiques as us even alot more diffrent ones without Licences ect BUT they cant have ammo or Shoot there Antique Pistols without a pile of Lic and paperwork.

So even tho we have less guns to choose from our laws are way better in my Opion.

Just be responsible about Shooting them tho or we will end up worse off than England.
 
-Just one more point on the French Ordnance Revolvers: they were in service use for a lot of years. Parts get replaced, and I've seen several with replaced barrels. That may mean the 'firearm' itself (frame or receiver) was made in a different year than the barrel is dated.
-All of the 1892 pattern Ordnance Revolver barrels should be marked with the model-year (1892) and many will have the actual year of manufacture as well. Some early 20th century ones don't. You might want to confirm manufacture-date against the serial number to be sure of it's status.
-Like others have mentioned, that old stuff about commercially-available or readily-available ammunition went out years ago.

Please correct me someone if I am wrong, but it cannot be 1898. It as the be 1897 at the very latest as the manufacturing date as to be pre-1898

Serial number starting by a ''F'' and some 1897 starting by a ''G'' for the French 1892
